Chapter 109 Handle it yourself
Faced with a large group of teachers' seemingly penetrating interrogation, Lu Yuan sighed helplessly.
But she quickly composed herself and said calmly, "Teachers, this really isn't my fault. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. If Xia Anqi had no feelings for me at all, why would she have taken the initiative?"
Upon hearing this, the teachers, whose expressions had been tense, paused and fell into deep thought, exchanging glances and whispering their opinions.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan followed up with another question: "I wonder how the teachers plan to handle this matter? Or rather, what kind of outcome do you hope to see?"
Lu Yuan's maturity and composure beyond his years made the teachers secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the Dean of Students, Zhang Dabiao, was already showing favoritism, he naturally wouldn't blame Lu Yuan.
He softened his tone and said earnestly, "This isn't the feudal era anymore. As the saying goes, love is free. We can't stop you young people from dating. As long as students don't cross the line or cause trouble in private, we certainly won't interfere. Of course, in a sense, the school shouldn't forcibly interfere with how you and Xia Anqi develop your relationship."
"There are some practical issues we have to face. You are all high school students, and your studies should be your priority. Your most urgent task is to prepare for the college entrance examination, not to spend your time on romance."
"It's fine if you have any personal relationships. But don't let it become such a public scandal. If the teachers don't intervene, it's tantamount to condoning this situation, which will negatively impact the school's atmosphere."
Zhang Dabiao's words were already very tactful; if it were any other student, he would never have been so gentle.
At this point, the homeroom teacher of Class One chimed in, "Of course, we'd prefer you all focus your energy back on your studies. As for dating, there'll be plenty of time after the college entrance exam, and no one will interfere. Especially Anqi, she's a promising student aiming for Tsinghua or Peking University; she should be completely focused on her studies right now, do you understand?"
To put it bluntly, the core concern is that these rumors might affect Xia Anqi's performance in the college entrance examination, or rather, that Lu Yuan might ruin Xia Anqi's future.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Yuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then glanced at each of the teachers present. "Since the teachers all feel that the entanglement between Xia Anqi and me is very bad and may even affect her college entrance examination, I will take the liberty of handling it myself in order to meet the expectations of all the teachers."
"What do you plan to do?" Zhang Dabiao asked warily.
Lu Yuan smiled, a sly glint in his eyes: "Of course I have my ways. However, I ask that you teachers promise that no matter what I do, you are not allowed to give me a major demerit."
"What do you mean by that?"
All the teachers looked puzzled, and even a little uneasy, fearing that Lu Yuan might do something drastic, and if he hurt Xia Anqi, they would not allow it.
Lu Yuan smiled calmly, as if he could see through the teachers' concerns, and assured them confidently, "Don't worry, this matter will not hurt anyone, it's just that the process might be a bit... memorable."
"Impressive?"
Everyone was even more confused. Zhang Dabiao pressed, "What exactly are you thinking? Tell us now so we can consider it. We can't just let you do something reckless, can we?"
"It's really hard to say right now. Anyway, please trust me, teachers." Lu Yuan still smiled, looking confident.
The teachers were at a loss for words and all turned their attention to Zhang Dabiao, the director of teaching affairs.
Zhang Dabiao stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over Lu Yuan, trying to figure out what this student was really up to.
Unfortunately, he understood Lu Yuan less and less, and was completely unable to predict his next move.
However, the matter between Lu Yuan and Xia Anqi must be resolved as soon as possible. If Lu Yuan does have a way to quell the storm, it is not unreasonable to let him try.
However, since Lu Yuan has already put his words to this extent, there is a high probability that what he is about to do will result in a major demerit.
Any matter involving a major demerit has a significant negative impact on the school's atmosphere, image, and discipline, and is tantamount to challenging the school's authority.
Lu Yuan has already received a major demerit. If he commits another offense, the principal will likely hold him accountable, which could cause him a lot of trouble.
However, considering that the college entrance examination was approaching, Zhang Dabiao believed that the principal would not personally deal with a student preparing for the exam. As for whether or not a major demerit would be given, he, as the director of teaching, still had considerable decision-making power.
After thinking it over, Zhang Dabiao nodded helplessly: "Then I'll trust you this once."
After speaking, he paused, and seeing that the other teachers remained silent and had no objections, he continued, "Lu Yuan, you're not a child anymore. Your teachers have all noticed your progress recently, and we believe that you've not only improved academically, but also matured mentally. Since you intend to resolve your issues with Xia Anqi yourself, then go ahead."
"Of course, I have to give you a heads-up: you must be mindful of your actions and have a bottom line. Otherwise, if you cause trouble, even the teachers can't protect you."
Lu Yuan nodded heavily, a meaningful smile curving his lips: "Don't worry, I guarantee it will surprise everyone."

Class 22, Grade 12.
During this evening self-study session, Ye Yixian was completely distracted. She sat in the corner of the last row of the classroom, one hand supporting her chin, the other unconsciously twirling a pen, staring blankly at the deep night outside the window.
Several girls in the class saw this and knew that Ye Yixian was facing a huge emotional crisis.
Although Lu Yuan and Ye Yixian have not publicly confirmed their romantic relationship, it is obvious to everyone that they are in love and are very sweet together.
Lu Yuan treated Ye Yixian exceptionally well, buying her clothes and shoes whenever she wanted, showering her with care and attention.
In particular, the girls led by Wang Qing are now the closest to Ye Yixian, and both emotionally and logically, they are firmly on Ye Yixian's side.
They unconditionally despised Xia Anqi, believing that Xia Anqi was the "third party" who ruined other people's relationship.
Several girls gathered around Ye Yixian and offered her advice all at once.
Ye Yixian was startled. After regaining her senses, she scolded, "What are you doing? You scared me!"
"Yixian, are you worried that Xia Anqi will steal Lu Yuan away?" Wang Qingyu asked directly.
Ye Yixian looked slightly embarrassed after his secret thoughts were exposed.
How could she not worry? Xia Anqi is so perfect, any guy who was pursued by her like this probably wouldn't have the courage to refuse.
Ye Yixian originally thought that her only major competitor was Xu Lingjing. Although Xu Lingjing was also perfect, she cared about her reputation and image, and would never openly pursue Lu Yuan, which gave Ye Yixian room to maneuver with her.
Xia Anqi is different. She is a fearless young lady who is used to being arrogant and domineering and will never play by the rules.
Of course, Ye Yixian was unwilling to admit her weakness, and shook her head guiltily: "I didn't. If Lu Yuan really likes her, then he should be with her. After all... who wouldn't want someone better?"
"Oh dear, Yixian!" Wang Qingyu and the others were the first to object, advising her with exasperation, "How could you think like that? Don't you know Lu Yuan likes you?"
"He..." Ye Yixian was speechless. Of course she knew that Lu Yuan liked her, but that didn't mean that Lu Yuan wouldn't be attracted to someone else at the same time.
Wang Qingyu gripped Ye Yixian's arm tightly with both hands and said seriously, "Why are you so insecure? Are you that bad? What does Xia Anqi have besides slightly better grades?"
"This... seems..." Ye Yixian didn't know how to refute it. Subconsciously, she felt that she was inferior to Xia Anqi in every way.
"Alright, Yixian. You're not bad, you're just not proactive enough."
"How much more proactive can I be?" Ye Yixian thought she had already been proactive enough. "I can't exactly do what Xia Anqi did and confess to Lu Yuan in front of the whole school, can I?"
Ye Yixian felt that was too strange and too awkward, and would definitely make Lu Yuan feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, and most importantly, she isn't as outstanding as Xia Anqi. Would a public confession really gain everyone's approval? It might even backfire.
As she hesitated, she saw Wang Qingyu and the others casting firm and encouraging glances at her. Clearly, they were encouraging her to confess her feelings to Lu Yuan publicly.
